The new Windows 10 updates will reserve 7GB for "update space". The eMMC is still pretty slow (maybe 70MB/s) compared to a SATA SSD,...

I've had the same problem. It's a great player, but the licence manager phones home regularly, and you can end up without music on a long...

That's brilliant, especially the bit about the ignition taking a few clicks to light up, just like an Alfa-Romeo.

Yep, it is good bang per buck. Just don't be deceived by the "THX" tweeter grills, there are no tweeters in these speakers.

You'll have regrets with Dell or HP. Since 2014, Dell and HP laptops have a third pin that acts as some sort of DRM. Plug in a non-original...

Yes, a quick search shows Shopping Square and their related companies have a terrible reputation here and on Whirlpool.

They are snake-oil products, good fashion accessories for tin-foil hats.

RedHab commented on From the wealth of past experience on this forum, do we think Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones will go on sale again any time soon?
I don't think so, luxury brands are seldom discounted before Xmas. They are also much cheaper in Australia than in the USA. There has been...

Run MemTest86 on it when you get it for an hour. That should pick up any manufacturing faults.

RedHab replied to  serpserpserp on Sony WH1000XM3 Noise Cancelling Headphones $304.76 + 2000 Points OR 54900 Points (Free Delivery) @ Qantas FF Store
Yeah, new accounting rules say airlines need to show FF points as a liability, so Qantas is devaluing them.
